Land of the Crane Glossary

The following is a simple glossary of Tsurukoku terms. The words “”, “” and “shogun” are used as English loanwords and thus not included in this glossary. Purist’s note: although Japanese is used as the basis for the language in Land of the Crane, some liberties have been taken and some meanings stretched to fit the context of a fantasy land inspired by, but not identical to, the Japan of history, myth and legend.
